I have 4 atv2 two were upgraded and two stayed on 5.0.2 The upgraded had some freez problems on xbmc and the other two didn't had this problem Therefor I think that if you have the option, stay with 5.0.2 The difference is not that much big

The xbmc is not stable yet I went back to iOS 5.0.2 works much better but without the Bluetooth support, I can Handle it

Because you need to sell your first born for a atv2 these days. I have 4 atv2 but I also have 2 atv3 hoping jailbreak soon.

I have two aptv2 and both loving the newest jailbreak and update. Why bother with aptv3 when it was never promised to jailbreak. A nice black paper weight u have!
